Thanks ost - but I have tried it both from direct physical keyboard and SSH using this command. I’ve been reading a few other problems related to this issue but all seems to come down to “not installing as root user”. Which i’m not - I’m installing as pi. So still scratching my head here.

I found that not placing the default calendar module directly below the clock this helps stop the repeating. However I could not find the root cause of the problem.

OK i think i’ve solved it. magic mirror HAS to be started (npm start) from a terminal window in the x-window server. you cannot start it over ssh.

@sean Hi Sean, and thanks for the effort put into this module. I too have the same problem as @sforsyth - just a white screen and magic mirror does not load. I have installed puppeteer and chromium as per your install instructions but still no action. I’m Just keeping an eye on this thread looking forward to a fix! Thanks again.

love this module! good stuff. Does anyone else have the problem of the moon image not loading at startup? All i get is a blank square with two sides 1px wide. However, when I restart MM it usually works.

@dmcinnes ah i see! much obliged. keep up the good work!

@dmcinnes forgive me I’m a noob when it comes to classes in javascript… you you be so kind as to post the code that needs altering?

great module! I’m curious to know how to configure it for “small”… i can’t find any clue in the documentation apart from trying to fiddle around with the .css. thanks!

@KirAsh4 sorry - i stand corrected! but that being said when i first started getting npm ERRS i tried this and it still did not work… anyway, moving forward now!

@ostfilinchen I was just using the standard install script that comes on the tutorial.
